“Byhalia smoke, big ribs, and live-music weekends”
Jimbo's Brickhouse Bar-Be-Que is a welcoming Byhalia smokehouse just south of Collierville, over the Mississippi line. It earns consistent raves for tender ribs, smoked chicken, and pulled pork served with genuine Southern hospitality, and it leans into a cookout mood that many suburban pits never manage. The full rack of ribs is the headline, smoked tender with a clean, satisfying bite, and the dry ribs give the dry-rub crowd their fix. Smoked chicken comes moist under crisp, well-rendered skin, and the pulled pork rounds out a tray built for sharing across a table. Weekends often bring live music, turning dinner into something closer to a backyard party than a restaurant meal. For anyone near the state line, it is a short drive that pays off in smoke and atmosphere both, and the crowd usually lingers for the second set.
Big-flavor ribs and live-music weekends make Jimbo's a destination just over the Mississippi line. The full rack and smoked chicken reward the short drive south of Collierville.

Jimbo's Brickhouse Bar-Be-Que serves Memphis Style barbecue — Memphis BBQ is rib country. The great debate is wet vs. dry: dry ribs are coated in a paprika-heavy spice rub and served without sauce, while wet ribs are glazed with a tomato-vinegar based sauce. Memphis also claims BBQ spaghetti and the BBQ nachos.
